SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Organizers of Tuesday's "Celebration of Marriage" at Utah's Capitol Hill got a much larger crowd than they probably expected. The evening was intended to celebrate traditional family. While that did happen, people who attended were surrounded by hundreds gay rights activists.

Tuesday's celebration of traditional family marriage had everything: the Osmonds, the Governor, and hundreds of gay rights party crashers. Needless to say it was not what traditional family supporters expected.

"In some ways yes, in some ways no," said Claus Nielsen, traditional family supporter.

"It breaks my heart to see some of the signs around her that talk about hate, there's one I'm looking at right now that says 'Hate is not a family value,' and that's not what this is about, it's about sharing love but standing up for what we believe," said Jill Johnson, traditional family supporter.

I was there. What an amazing night. My least favorite speaker was the Governor. My most favorite speaker was the 13-year-old girl who spoke eloquently about how all children deserve to have a mother and a father.

Even though the other side tried to rain on our parade, the great talent and spirit of the bona fide participants was evident in abundance!

Well, they tried to ruin the night. It was interesting. At one point, while 3 little Osmond girls (3rd generation), were singing, two gay guys off to their right started making out (trust me, they made it as disgusting as they could), anyway, our people stood in front of them so that our families would not be so horrified.

The whole night was the most graphic example of the Spiritual battle we face!

Alan Osmond has MS; it was sad to see him struggling physically, but it was great to know that his Spirit is strong. His son is apparently a big hit in country music circles and he was there performing. Wow!! What a talent!

In fact, the entertainment was absolutely spectacular!! There was an 11-yr-old boy (child protege) pianist who blew our minds. I can't even begin to say how wonderful the whole night was. A local band (family) performed, complete with yodeling - oh, it was great!

They literally surrounded us but we just ignored them as much as was possible. It was very rude the way they screamed and tried to disrupt but like I said it was a spiritual battle and I feel confident our side won. Amen.

Turnabout is fair play. Next time they hold a homo pride parade, make sure you crash it. (Just make sure you keep your back to the wall and if you drop something, kick it to Idaho before you bend over to pick it up.)

I am sorry to tell you that the last gay pride parade in Salt Lake City was lead by some misguided Mormon silly women who want to love the gays and accept them so they (the gays) won’t feel bad. It was soooo stupid!

Why is anyone surprised that a group of mentally ill sexual degenerates would attack anything they view as not 100% on their side? It is simply one more manifestation of their mental derangement. Either the civilized world stands up or slides back into the days of Sodom.

Perhaps the male butt-lickers ingested a bit too much waste and were temporarily insane?

(Marxism works well only with the uneducated and the unarmed.)

If you go to the abc Salt lake site, all the comments are pro gay. They have the msm media and are using it very effectively. Many do not have families and use their time to promote this self-indulgent and dysfunctional lifestyle. If we do not find a way to aggressively fight back, our children will live in a very sick world.

Ahhh weren’t the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah loud, proud and in the faces of the righteous too? Being arrogant as unto the Almighty One is a very dangerous proposition.
I fear hell and for anyone heading there full speed ahead.

Much of the gay agenda is of the same mold, including gay marriage, or as they’ve begun calling it, “marriage equality” (soon it’ll be “global marriage change”). Marriage is, of course, the core of heterosexual life, a religious sacrament, the climactic moment of many a novel and film (”Reader, I married him.”), the bulwark of family life. As such, it is a perfect target for outrage and mockery.Which is the point of the gay marriage campaign.

Closer to 2% but Im still not fooled by the propaganda that they are a vast majority. For the most part, gay marriage supporters are little more than Pavlovs dogs reacting to the bell.

More like Bolsheviks reading from Sergei Eisenstein's songbook, and latterday "Pink Swastika" SA's lustily singing from the Josef Goebbels songbook, that they are the majority and people who disagree are hamburger for the Pavlovian dogs' dinner.

What they are trying to achieve is a beatdown of the Right. Sooner or later they're going to screw up, like the Klan did in the 20's by partying with underage girls.

Marriage is, of course, the core of heterosexual life, .... the bulwark of family life. As such, it is a perfect target for outrage and mockery.Which is the point of the gay marriage campaign.

More like, the necessary, the absolutely must-destroy target.

Marriage is like a billboard over "Hollywoodland", reminding all who pass of the essential normality of heterosexual love, marriage, and childrearing, and of the deviancy of sexual deviates.

Gay "luuuv" isn't love, it's a paraphilia, and disordered. That is what the Other Side can't choke down and can't spit out. They are Abnormal, Deviate, and Other .... and they are burning with that knowledge, and with the words of absolute condemnation spoken in Genesis 19-20 not by Abraham but by Abraham's God Himself.

So the homosexual movement wants all the rest of us to pay for their burn. We shall see.

Ahhh werent the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah loud, proud and in the faces of the righteous too?

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-2120. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-74. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house. 5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." 6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-5049. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. 4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; 5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)-- 9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. 10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings; 11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord. 12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish. 13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11. And that is what some of youwere. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

(Heck is where people, who don't believe in Gosh, think they are not going...)

right there shows why these people should nto be playing family.
They make out in front of little children to push their sickness in front of people and they then wonder why people ,more and more are getting fed up of them.

Earlier today I was out and met a guy who said he used to be a Democrat but as he saw his party turn radcial left and then want homosexual marriage he has turned to the republican party.
I told him that even on the right they have seen infiltrators like the left did and even have let non republicans like liberal tarians in.

He siad thta there was no America he grew up in and he;s so fed up like most of us today.

Obama no red state no blue state, what a crock, the man and his family who seem to think they are the royak family and now closed our house has made this country into two countries.
The north east mainly and parts of the wst coast forcing their radcial left agenda onto the rest of the country

What Joseph Smith Means to Us (From: various sources )

"He (Joseph Smith) is the man through whom God has spoken... yet I would not like to call him a savior, though in a certain capacity he was a god to us, and is to the nations of the earth, and will continue to be."

- Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 8:321

"You call us fools; but the day will be, gentlemen and ladies, whether you belong to this Church or not, when you will prize brother Joseph Smith as the Prophet of the Living God, and look upon him as a god..."

- Herber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses 5:88

"If we get our salvation, we shall have to pass by him [Joseph Smith]; if we enter our glory, it will be through the authority he has received. We cannot get around him [Joseph Smith]"

- (as quoted in 1988 Melchizedek Priesthood Study Guide, p. 142)

There is "no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth...no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God"

- Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.190

"I tell you, Joseph holds the keys, and none of us can get into the celestial kingdom without passing by him. We have not got rid of him, but he stands there as the sentinel, holding the keys of the kingdom of God; and there are many of them beside him. I tell you, if we get past those who have mingled with us, and know us best, and have a right to know us best, probably we can pass all other sentinels as far as it is necessary, or as far as we may desire. But I tell you, the pinch will be with those that have mingled with us, stood next to us, weighed our spirits, tried us, and proven us: there will be a pinch, in my view, to get past them. The others, perhaps, will say, If brother Joseph is satisfied with you, you may pass. If it is all right with him, it is all right with me. Then if Joseph shall say to a man, or if brother Brigham say to a man, I forgive you your sins, "Whosoever sins ye remit they are remitted unto them;" if you who have suffered and felt the weight of transgressionif you have generosity enough to forgive the sinner, I will forgive him: you cannot have more generosity than I have. I have given you power to forgive sins, and when the Lord gives a gift, he does not take it back again."

- Orson Hyde, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p.154-155

"It is because the Lord called Joseph Smith that salvation is again available to mortal men.... If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation,"

- Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 396, 670

They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.

He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.

He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.

As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.

Who has made this so?

Have I?

Have this people?

Have the world?

No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.

If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.

If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.

Can you pass without his inspection?

No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.

In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.

They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?

They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

Brigham Young,

(Heck is where people, who don't believe in Gosh, think they are not going...)

hate is not a family and yet they are their showing hate to those who oppose their sham .

So true!! It REALLY exposes their agenda; doesn't it!!!

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses

, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

About ten years ago (can’t believe this crap has been going on this long) when I lived in Asheville my daughter (who was 16 or 17 at the time) went to a Support Traditional Marriage downtown and of course the homosexuals were out to interfere. During prayers they were yelling and saying vile things. The cops made them move to the other side of the street. Vile, disgusting excuses for human beings. They haven’t changed.

Why is anyone surprised that a group of mentally ill sexual degenerates would attack anything they view as not 100% on their side? It is simply one more manifestation of their mental derangement. Either the civilized world stands up or slides back into the days of Sodom.

Perhaps the male butt-lickers ingested a bit too much waste and were temporarily insane?

(Marxism works well only with the uneducated and the unarmed.)

Yet, given the bombardment of relentless pro-LGBT propaganda in our universities and public schools and the gross over-representation of in-your-face pro-LGBT content and characters on television and movies, is it any wonder why the average American has been completely duped into thinking that gays make up 25% of the population!

What percent of those are wanting any kind of ‘til death do you part’ relationship?

Same sex civil unions have been legal in Illinois since June 1, 2011. So far I can only find about 1600 same sex civil unions. I suspect that was the first rush. The statistics in other countries look the same. There’s a dearth of homosexuals wanting permanent relationships or legal protection for their relationships.

I believe you’re right... I think this is all part of the left-wing progressives/communists’ sinister quest to deconstruct and destroy the United States of America from within and what better way to go about it than to undermine, redefine, and ultimately eradicate our most foundational building block necessary for a moral society to flourish.... marriage and the traditional nuclear family.

I often wonder why the American left is so hell-bent on ruining and destroying every single tradition and institution that has made our nation the greatest in the history of the planet? I mean, don’t they have to live here too???
